Conform: Exposing the Truth About Common Core and Public Education

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS NEVER MENTIONED IN THE CONSTITUTION. WHY? BECAUSE OUR FOUNDERS KNEW THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS--NOT THE FEDERAL ONE.

It's not a coincidence that the more the federal government has inserted itself into public education over the years, the worse our kids have fared. Washington dangles millions of dollars in front of states and then tells them what they have to do to get it. It's backdoor nationalization of education--and it's leading us to ruin.

InÂ Conform, Glenn Beck presents a well-reasoned, fact-based analysis that proves it's not more money our schools need--it's a complete refocusing of their priorities and a total restructuring of their relationship with the federal government. In the process, he dismantles many of the common myths and talking points that are often heard by those who want to protect the status quo.

Critics of the current system are justÂ "TEACHER BASHERS"...Teachers' unions putÂ KIDS FIRST...Homeschooled kidsÂ SUFFERÂ bothÂ ACADEMICALLYÂ andÂ SOCIALLY..."LOCAL CONTROL"Â is an excuse to protectÂ MEDIOCRITY...COMMON COREÂ isÂ "RIGOROUS"andÂ "STATE LED"...Critics of Common Core are justÂ CONSPIRACY THEORISTS...Elementary school teachers needÂ TENURE...WeÂ CAN'T REFORMÂ schools until weERADICATE POVERTY...SCHOOL CHOICEÂ takes money away fromÂ PUBLIC SCHOOLS...CHARTER SCHOOLSÂ perform poorly relative to public schools.

There is no issue more important to America's future than education. The fact that we've yielded control over it to powerful unions and ideologically driven elitists is inexcusable. We are failing ourselves, our children, and our country.Â ConformÂ gives parents the facts they need to take back the debate and help usher in a new era of education built around the commonsense principles of choice, freedom, and accountability.
